Overview

Analysis recorded

8 finding categories to review

Photoshop Express Photo Editor (com.adobe.psmobile) scored grade B, 88 out of 100, in a static scan of version 18.4.40 on 2026-10-12. It has no high or critical findings, and 8 lower-severity finding categories across 12 occurrences. 7 tracking SDKs are present in the package, which describes what ships, not what runs or what it sends. This is static analysis of a single build: it does not observe the app running and does not establish that any data is exposed.

mediumShort signing key (RSA 1024-bit)1 occurrence

Interpretation & review guidance

The signing key is shorter than the modern 2048-bit RSA minimum. Short keys are cryptographically weaker; a release should re-key to at least RSA-2048 (or an EC key).

lowAmazon S3 bucket reference2 occurrences

Interpretation & review guidance

A reference to an Amazon S3 bucket. Using cloud storage is normal — the risk exists only if the bucket allows anonymous listing/read, which requires a separate authorized assessment.

lowData Safety label omits Location1 occurrence

Interpretation & review guidance

The app's Google Play Data Safety label omits a data category it can actually access — a permission it requests, or an advertising/device identifier it references. Under-declaring collection is a Play policy issue and a COPPA/privacy concern. This is a static signal: a requested permission is capability, not proof of collection — confirm against runtime behavior.

lowExported content provider without permission (third-party library artifact, shared across 401 unrelated developers)1 occurrence

Interpretation & review guidance

An exported content provider declares no permission. Other apps on the device may reach it — verify it enforces access control internally; this flags the attack surface, not a confirmed leak.

A Firebase Realtime Database URL. Nearly every app that uses Firebase ships one. It's only an exposure if the database rules are world-readable — that's what live verification checks.

A Firebase Cloud Storage bucket reference (the default <project>.appspot.com). Storing user files here is normal — it's only an exposure if the Storage security rules allow public read/list, which live verification tests.

lowGoogle API key (client-shipped; restriction unverified)2 occurrences

Interpretation & review guidance

Android apps are designed to ship Google API keys in the client; Google restricts them by app signing certificate + enabled API. This is only a problem if the key is left unrestricted — presence alone is expected, not an exposure.

infoApplication data is backup-enabled1 occurrence

Interpretation & review guidance

The app allows Android backups (android:allowBackup="true"). App data can then be extracted via adb backup on many devices — a concern if the app stores tokens or personal/health/payment data locally. Common and low-severity, but worth disabling for sensitive apps.

  • Precise location requested while 2 ad/attribution SDK(s) are present (Google AdMob, Branch) — location commonly feeds ad targeting.
  • Persistent-identifier APIs referenced in code (Advertising ID (AAID), Android ID, Device ID / IMEI) with 6 analytics/ad SDK(s) present — the mechanism used for cross-app profiling.
  • Camera, Personal info, Phone, Photos & files data requested with third-party analytics/ad SDKs present.

This maps what the app can access (permissions it requests, identifier APIs its code references) to the third parties bundled in it. It reflects capability and SDK presence — not proof that a specific value was transmitted.

We compare the developer's Google Play Data Safety declaration with what the binary can actually do (permissions it requests, identifier APIs and third-party SDKs it ships). A mismatch is a capability signal to confirm — a requested permission is not proof of collection.
